Language settings

[Andreas Bauer]

Hello everybody

I hope this is not a candidate for FAQ or RTFM. Anyway, here it comes: how 
can I change the language settings for my document? Everytime I switch from 
English to German, LyX (or LaTeX?) complains as soon as I enter the 
Postscript preview mode. I guess I'm missing some LaTeX lang. modules, but 
being a real bloody beginner in LaTeX, I need some advice on where to install 
them.

Thanks for any suggestions. BTW I'm using LyX 1.1.6fix1 on Linux and tetex 
1.0.7.

Andi.

 There is one thing I really missed in LyX, the reveal code window.

 As I understand LyX, it is a front end to LaTeX, much of the codes are
 hidden. But you can add TeX codes anywhere or anywhen. Would'nt it be
 nice to see the hidden codes: you can learn them, you can modify them,
 you get more control over your document.

 Is this idea beyond the philosophy of LyX?

Sometimes, it seems to me LyX makes it wrong and then it is

LaTeX and check that,

* \documentclass has only your primary language
* \usepackage{babel} has all languages used in the document
* there are no non-sensical \setlanguage (sometimes, I have 
found, that LyX covered all document in \setlanguage 
primary-language of document and in \documentclass was something 
non-sensical).

Clean it up and import into LyX. Unfortunately, I have no 
example at hand to fire the bug report (but maybe it is a 
feature :-), who knows?).

Document containing several files and bibliographies

[Christian Naeger]

Hi, 

I have a document which includes (via include file) several files. At the 
end of the (master) document should be the bibliography. How can I achieve 
this?

When I write my bibliography in the master document, I can't reference it 
in the single files (as they don't know about the master file). 

If I provide each file with its own bibliography, Lyx 1.1.6 (Jan 11, 2001) 
crashes on compiling the master file.  

How can this be done?

Thanks a lot, Chris

I now have a file which contains only my (global) bibliography. It would be 
nice if I could include this file in my main document. However, trying to 
do so causes Lyx 1.1.6 to crash, even when the bib file is the only item in

better. 

Is this a bug?

See the blue line in the title ? This means that the language for the title

'german' language.
To fix this, select all the text in the title, open the layout-character

fields) and press apply.

The problem is that the 1st and 3rd cells has invalid multi-column alignment

 b) I would like to have the table somewhat smaller in order to fit the column.
 how can I reduce the margins around the cell contents somewhat for that 
 purpose?

\addtolength{\tabcolsep}{-2pt}

I've attached a fixed file.

PS: Why you use the itemize layout for the answer list ?
You should use something else (e.g. description).

If have a document with a table of contents, and you change the language of
the document from English to German (and you latex'ed the file before the
language change), when you first run latex you will get an error because
the old table of contents (in the .toc file) is still in English.
However, if you run latex again, everything will be fine (as the first latex
run create a new table of contents).

I've already create a fix in LyX so it will automatically run LaTeX twice
after changing the document language.

 Is there a way for equations to automatically wrap-around in Lyx?

No.

And since there is no such thing in LaTeX, I doubt that LyX will have it

Document containing several files and bibliographies

[Christian Naeger]

Hi, 

I have a document which includes (via include file) several files. At the 
end of the (master) document should be the bibliography. How can I achieve 
this?

When I write my bibliography in the master document, I can't reference it 
in the single files (as they don't know about the master file). 

If I provide each file with its own bibliography, Lyx 1.1.6 (Jan 11, 2001) 
crashes on compiling the master file.  

How can this be done?

Thanks a lot, Chris

To fix this, select all the text in the title, open the layout-character

If have a document with a table of contents, and you change the language of
the document from English to German (and you latex'ed the file before the
language change), when you first run latex you will get an error because
the old table of contents (in the .toc file) is still in English.
However, if you run latex again, everything will be fine (as the first latex
run create a new table of contents).

I've already create a fix in LyX so it will automatically run LaTeX twice
after changing the document language.

Language settings

[Andreas Bauer]

Hello everybody

I hope this is not a candidate for FAQ or RTFM. Anyway, here it comes: how 
can I change the language settings for my document? Everytime I switch from 
English to German, LyX (or LaTeX?) complains as soon as I enter the 
Postscript preview mode. I guess I'm missing some LaTeX lang. modules, but 
being a real bloody beginner in LaTeX, I need some advice on where to install 
them.

Thanks for any suggestions. BTW I'm using LyX 1.1.6fix1 on Linux and tetex 
1.0.7.

Sometimes, it seems to me LyX makes it wrong and then it is 
difficult to persuade it, what to do. My solution is export to 
LaTeX and check that,

* \documentclass has only your primary language
* \usepackage{babel} has all languages used in the document
* there are no non-sensical \setlanguage (sometimes, I have 
found, that LyX covered all document in \setlanguage 
primary-language of document and in \documentclass was something 
non-sensical).

Clean it up and import into LyX. Unfortunately, I have no 
example at hand to fire the bug report (but maybe it is a 
feature :-), who knows?).

Document containing several files and bibliographies

[Christian Naeger]

Hi, 

I have a document which includes (via include file) several files. At the 
end of the (master) document should be the bibliography. How can I achieve 
this?

When I write my bibliography in the master document, I can't reference it 
in the single files (as they don't know about the master file). 

If I provide each file with its own bibliography, Lyx 1.1.6 (Jan 11, 2001) 
crashes on compiling the master file.  

How can this be done?

Thanks a lot, Chris

Herbert,
Do you mean the European Concrete Fonts (ECC)? Does it support 12 pts?
Thanks

I now have a file which contains only my (global) bibliography. It would be 
nice if I could include this file in my main document. However, trying to 
do so causes Lyx 1.1.6 to crash, even when the bib file is the only item in 
the main document. I can insert the file though. But include would be 
better. 

Is this a bug?

Ciao, Chris

pybliographic

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

I am using pybliographic for lyx (the excuse for asking here) 
and wonder whether somebody knows how to get rid of double entries besides 
doing it manually.

I think you are on to something here. When I just tried it again it suddenly 
worked - magically. The same thing wouldn't work all weekend and I kept 
reading manuals and all documentation I could find...

Well, not necessary anymore. But thank you, I started to doubt my sanity over 
that one :-) And no, unfortunately I can't reproduce this error. So no bug 
report possible either.

Cheers,
Andi.

See the blue line in the title ? This means that the language for the title
is different than the language of the document, namely your title has
'german' language.
To fix this, select all the text in the title, open the layout->character
dialog, select 'Reset' in the language field (and 'No change' in all other
fields) and press apply.

You shouldn't get this errors.
Did you change the 'Package' field in the lang-opts->language tab of the
preferences dialog ?
You should change it back to the default '\usepackage{babel}'

The problem is that the 1st and 3rd cells has invalid multi-column alignment
values. Press the 2nd mouse button on the 1st cell, goto the 'cell' tab,
and erase the contents of the 'Alignment' field, and do the same to the 3rd
cell.

\addtolength{\tabcolsep}{-2pt}

I've attached a fixed file.

PS: Why you use the itemize layout for the answer list ?
You should use something else (e.g. description).

If have a document with a table of contents, and you change the language of
the document from English to German (and you latex'ed the file before the
language change), when you first run latex you will get an error because
the old table of contents (in the .toc file) is still in English.
However, if you run latex again, everything will be fine (as the first latex
run create a new table of contents).

I've already create a fix in LyX so it will automatically run LaTeX twice
after changing the document language.

No.

And since there is no such thing in LaTeX, I doubt that LyX will have it
soon...
